TAKEPART Brighton
We've just got back from a tiring but thoroughly enjoyable weekend at Prston Park, Brighton where the park played host to the Brighton and Hove TAKEPART Festival.
As well as a weekend of come-and-try-me sports events, there was loads of cool stuff going on as well, including the awesome STOMP who put on some drumming and dance workshops. There was a world-record jive dancing attempt and loads of live music. There was also a brilliant artificial rock climbing wall, just the like the one off Gladiators, and there was even an outdoor icerink! In the middle of summer!
Of course the Brighton and Hove Petanque Club were there with a temporary terrain for people to have a try. On one day alone over 270 people stopped by to throw some boules around, so it was quite a success. It was also really tiring for everyone involved, as it meant we had to shift over 2 tonnes of gravel - not just taking it up to Preston Park the day before and setting up the terrain, but bagging it all up into about 100 sacks and transporting it back to the seafront. It was quite a feat and the task that started at around 6pm was finally finished and we all went home around 9.30pm.
A lovely day - but I personally wouldn't be upset if the next one wasn't for a while yet! ;-)
